1. For the "Letters of your Name" assignment, you need to:

Go to Google and copy an image of your choice (scenes, objects, etc.)

Open up the Photoshop and click "Open" and select "New" (background contents has to be transparent)

Then click "Edit" and select "Paste"

Use "Eraser tool" from the side bar on your left to erase everything but the letter of your name (one letter per image)

Use various font for each letter

Use "Marquee tool" from the same side bar on your left, then highlight the letter you created and select "Crop tool" from the same bar and hit "enter" twice

Save the letter by clicking "Save for Web" and save it as PNG file

Close the file and make another with other image

After you are done making letters of your name, make a table to post with letters inside a table.

Make it two rows and set size to put your letters in

After you set the table, click "Generate" and copy the table codes

Then you create NEW post on your blog, choose HTML instead of Compose, then past

Insert each letters of your first name that you created in the top row and last name in the bottom row (put the letters of you name in between <th></td>, between ><, using "Insert Image"

Set the letters into "Small" and in the codes, look for Border="0" then add Height="50" Width="50" for each image

2. a) Using Photoshop

Photoshop is useful program that helps draw, repair images, clone images, inserting writings and many more.

During the assignment, I have used many tools including Move Tool, Marquee Tool, Crop Tool, Eraser Tool and Type Tool.

Here are 5 keyboard short cuts:

- "Ctrl + N" to click New under File

- "Ctrl + O" to Open under File

- "Ctrl +C" to Copy under Edit

- "Ctrl +V" to Paste under Edit

- "Ctrl + S" to save under File

b) Working Blogs

How people use blogs are all different. Some people use it as journals and for some people, it can be used as to spread the information around. Also for teaching classes.
